Lu Yundi stopped, turned around and looked at Xiang Zhu, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "Yes, I have some things I need to figure out."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at Ye Wanxue's residence. Lu Yundi pushed the door open and saw Ye Wanxue sitting by the window with a book in her hands. When she saw Lu Yundi coming in, she hurriedly put down the book and stood up to greet him.

"Sister Yundi, you're here." Ye Wanxue's voice trembled slightly, and there was an indescribable complexity in her eyes.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, trying to look calm: "Sister Wanxue, I heard that Liu Mubai is back, so I came to see you."

Ye Wanxue's expression instantly became complicated, and she forced a smile: "Yes, he's back. I didn't expect that he would come back today when my husband is taking a day off."

The two sat down in the hall. Xiang Zhu tactfully withdrew and closed the door, leaving the room in silence.

"Sister, do you think there is something strange about this?" Lu Yundi asked directly.

Ye Wanxue lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the corner of her clothes: "I also feel a little strange, but I don't want to think too much about it. As long as he comes back, it's fine."

Lu Yundi looked at Ye Wanxue, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Sister, you are too kind. Sometimes, things are not as simple as they seem."

Ye Wanxue raised her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "I know, but I am willing to believe him. Sister Yundi, you know, I have always trusted him."

Lu Yundi sighed softly. She knew it was useless to continue talking, so she could only temporarily suppress the doubts in her heart.

The two chatted for a while, and the topic gradually turned to daily trivial matters. However, the atmosphere was still a little awkward, and Lu Yundi was worried and couldn't completely relax.

Soon, Jiang Jilian came back from outside. He was slightly startled when he saw Lu Yundi here, then smiled and greeted: "Yundi, why are you here?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "I came to see Sister Wanxue. You two are reunited, so I should come to congratulate you."

Jiang Jilian nodded and looked at Ye Wanxue, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Yes, we should celebrate."

Ye Wanxue stood up, walked to Jiang Jilian, gently took his arm, her eyes full of tenderness: "Husband, let's have dinner together as a family tonight."

Jiang Jilian smiled slightly and nodded.

At dinner time, the restaurant in Zhenxing Marquis's mansion was brightly lit and the atmosphere was harmonious. However, Lu Yundi always felt that something was wrong. She looked at Ye Wanxue and Liu Mubai, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

After the meal, everyone dispersed. Lu Yundi returned to the room alone, sat by the window, looking at the night scene outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At this time, Xiang Zhu came in and looked at Lu Yundi: "Madam, are you worried about something?"

Lu Yundi looked at Xiang Zhu, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Xiang Zhu, I want you to find out the real reason why Liu Mubai came back. I don't believe all this is a coincidence."

Xiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Madam, I understand. I will check it out immediately."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, but her heart became heavier. She knew that she was about to face an unpredictable storm.

In another corner of Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion, Liu Mubai and Ye Wanxue were speechless. Liu Mubai looked at the night outside the window and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would protect his family and prevent them from getting hurt.

As for Ye Wanxue, she looked at Liu Mubai's back with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know whether she should believe him, but she knew that no matter what happened, she was willing to stay by his side.

That night, the lights in Zhenxing Marquis Mansion were bright, and a storm was quietly brewing.

……

Lu Yundi thought for a moment and decided to go shopping with Xiang Zhu. She should visit the dowry shops in person. She winked at Xiang Zhu, who immediately understood her meaning and nodded with a smile.

The two of them rode in a carriage and slowly drove out of the Zhenxing Marquis's Mansion. Along the way, the people saluted the carriage one after another. Lu Yundi nodded slightly, but he was thinking about another thing in his mind.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the bustling city center. Lu Yundi and Xiang Zhu got off the carriage and strolled on the bustling streets. The shops on both sides of the street were full of dazzling goods, and various hawking sounds could be heard one after another.

"Madam, look at that silk shop. The silk there is of top quality. Would you like to go in and take a look?" Xiang Zhu said, pointing to a silk shop not far away.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go and take a look."

The two walked into the silk shop, and the shopkeeper immediately came up to them with a big smile on his face: "Dear guests, welcome. We have just received a batch of high-quality silk. Are you interested?"

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, and the shopkeeper immediately ordered someone to bring out several rolls of fine silk. Xiang Zhu picked up a roll, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "This silk is really delicate and smooth, and feels great. Madam, what do you think?"

Lu Yundi picked up the silk and stroked it gently, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "It's really good, let's buy this one."

The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw this and wrapped the silk for them personally. The two paid and continued on their way.

In front of a jewelry store, Xiang Zhu suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on a string of exquisite pearl necklaces. She turned to look at Lu Yundi, with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes.

Lu Yundi saw through her thoughts and smiled: "Since you like it, buy it."

Xiang Zhu's eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately asked the shopkeeper to take out the necklace. Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately introduced the origin and characteristics of the necklace.

At this time, a woman in green hurried in. When she saw Xiang Zhu, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure. She walked up to Xiang Zhu and smiled slightly: "Sister Xiang, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiang Zhu looked up and saw that it was her cousin Lin Suer. She smiled and said, "Suer, are you here shopping too?"

Lin Suer nodded gently: "Yes, I just came out of the house and wanted to see what new things there are."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries and continued shopping together. Along the way, Lin Suer kept winking at Xiang Zhu, as if she had something to say. Xiang Zhu's heart moved, knowing that she must have something to tell him.

After walking around, the three of them came to a teahouse. They found a seat by the window and sat down. The laughter and the aroma of tea in the teahouse mixed together, making people feel happy.

After the tea came, Lin Suer finally couldn't help but speak: "Sister Xiang, I heard that something happened in the Marquis' Mansion recently. I wonder if you know about it?"

Xiang Zhu was slightly startled and looked at Lu Yundi. Lu Yundi smiled slightly and signaled her to speak without worry.

Lin Suer then told him everything that had happened in the mansion in recent days. It turned out that the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxing had been in poor health recently, and all the affairs of the mansion were handed over to Lu Yundi. Lu Yundi's intelligence and decisiveness made everyone in the mansion respect her.

After listening to Lin Su'er's narration, Xiang Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Madam is really becoming more and more capable. I have to work hard too."

Lu Yundi smiled and patted her hands: "You are already great, don't worry too much."
